Ontario premier Doug Ford has threatened to cut off power to the United States as the tariff war heats up.

Dear Editor,

Canadians are rising to deal with the bully in Washington. Daughter Nadine in Maui writes "Yay Canada" re: Ontario premier Doug Ford's threat to cut power off to the whole eastern coast of the U.S. This has rattled Trump, who knows so little about power beyond his own borders. Nadine says that Hawaii is dealing with the threat to their economy.

It's a funny thing about tyrants: they are blinded by ego. Look at how Putin was told that Russia would have Kiev in two days.

The whole western economy will be dealing with this challenge with the power of knowledge and reason. It's the greatest power there is. History doesn't seem to have taught these mighty egos much. But bullies are cowards really; let's see how Ford and Trump reveal this.
